Disappointingly not but they actually trained for this race!
Bloody hell that was hot, the run is quite shaded but when not in the shade it’s beating down.
My swim was shite, just couldn’t get going, ran out of carbs on the bike and suffered for the last 10km or so. Started the run slowly, sipped on one of those beast 90g Precision Hydration gels then came back to life until about 14km where the pace tailed off.
It’s a great race though, really good course.
Great work champ. 
Ive just looked that up… and then thought I could have just come here…
Replied to the wrong post… Adam W
Id love that swim time and your bike split was 16 - 17 minute ish faster than mine last year.
Run… I dont think you can compare because the heat.
Anyway top job.
Have you seen Kat, Harry, both 1st and Joe Skipper down there spectating and commentating?
TRO is doing Vitoria-Gasteiz as well, 14k into the run so must have survived that spider 
Good swim/bike as well.
Well done, Adam 
got it done.
Well done Adam 
I saw Harry Palmer pre race then the front of the men’s race as they came past to start their second lap, he wasn’t in the lead then though.
Approaching T2 and he’s smashing with the lead bike.
11:11 for TRO, decent performance that
Just spotted @Toyota_Crown in the Swansea results too - sub 3 bike and a solid run 1:35 
THE Harry Palmer ?
I saw that he was having a bike fit at Pearson Cycles “in preparation for his Ironman” a couple of weeks ago.
He was being fitted on an S-Works Tarmac, so I assumed it was for a road bike course 
Walked it home with a 2:30 run I think
you try running kwikker than 1h35 when your 56 
2nd fastest run split in my AG. tbf I was hoping for 1h30 like at Weymouth and Outlaw Half recently, as the heat didnt bother me. tougher bike course tho, its like a mini-IM Wales. loved it, some lairy and technical fast sweeping corners. WCPGW
I meant it as a compliment!
Agreed on the bike course, great fun
I’m an over comepititititive tit, so a mere ‘solid’ is an insult
A few of us are entered into the Steelman (70.3) tomorrow but the weather is looking terrible with possible lightning then flooding and heavy rain during the afternoon 
I’m not having much luck with triathlons this year but last week wasn’t too bad with the early start.
Could be lightning in the morning and the heavy rain looks set for halfway through the bike as it starts at 10am.
I’ve got my stuff ready and will see how it looks in the morning or on the way but not risking the roads if there’s flooding and poor visibility and I know they’ll be checking for the safety of people.
We’ve had a heavy shower here about an hour ago with almost immediate flooding due to the dryness and all the stormdrains being blocked.
